A hearty nose that is slightly milder than you would expect, taking a good wiff it is smooth with only a trace of alchol burn. All the pleasantness and sweet unassuming nature of a "Weller" with no downside.
On the palate is exceptionally warm (107) but still absent of any crude ethyl flavorings, the warm cinnamon spice and clove is apparent, but the massive sweetness is most notable. A hint of vanilla and wood sugars but small honey and the notable bread dough sweetness we can expect from the distillery renown for an array of wheated bourbons. Finish with just a touch of burn and final citrus spice reminder.
Not overly complex just overly good, if you can find the 107 Antique you would be wise to stock up. This bottle is becoming harder to find by the day. This is a truly fantastic bourbon that even outclasses its older, 12 year, black label brother.
If you can't find this bottle or are being asked a ridiculous price of 70$$ or more, just grab a bottle of Maker 46,,, you can thank me later.

BDanner, I'm not really sure why, the 107 antique is pretty well accepted to be 7 years old, making it seemingly a little easier to produce than the 12 year.
Since the MSRP is now actually higher than the12’s, in theory it should be the superior product. BT has me scratching my head a little with the increase from $30 to $50.
